THIS PAST WEEK...

So, Evan and I finally closed on our house! Like what...who are we? I don't think either of us have ever felt this grown or been this anxious about anything in our entire lives, but we couldn't be more excited to be homeowners though. We're also so relieved to be done with landlords FOREVER.

A gift from our agent...too sweet

And as if there wasn't enough excitement already, we got engaged! I was so deeply consumed with our house details that I didn't see a proposal coming at all. I guess buying a home was welcomed distraction and helped Evan set up the most perfect proposal!

We closed on our house at noon on Wednesday and had planned on heading over later in the day to enjoy the bareness of the our new abode. Evan had been dropping hints throughout the month about having Maddie, our dog, film a house tour once we closed, and I loved the idea so much that I didn't even think twice about it. So, come day of, we strapped a GoPro to her and let her do her thing. I had my camera as well (I'm always documenting something haha), but I honestly had no idea he was going to propose.

So many people have been asking us if our new house feels like 'home' yet, and honestly, it has only been a week people! Things have been gradually sinking in, and I do have to say that it feels so special getting to step into our new home as an engaged couple. I wouldn't change a thing about how or when Evan proposed and will always remember that moment as sweet and simple and perfectly us.

I still can't believe that I became a homeowner and someone's fiancée all in one day. I never expected this year to feel so full, and I'm so grateful for all the highs and lows 2017 has brought me. Thank you all for your continued support, and I'm so happy I get to share my life with you guys!
